Question by player timence

Answer: Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis's streak of 65 consecutive victories in international long jump competitions, between 1981 and 1990 (when he was beaten by Mike Powell at the World Championships), was one of the longest winning streaks in any sport. But he was also a sprinter, and ranked at or near the top in the world rankings as a 100m and 200m runner, as well as the long jump, for most years in the 1980s.

Although he was on the 1980 Olympic team, his medal tally did not start until 1984, when he won four: 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump. 1988 saw him win gold in the 100m and long jump, and silver in the 200m; 1992 gold medals were in the 4x100m relay and the long jump, and the last of his nine gold medals in the Olympic games came in the long jump in 1996.

Answer: boxing

In boxing, control of what happens inside the ring is a key both to scoring and to ultimate victory. A boxer controls the action with his or her footwork, punching, and intelligence. This permits the boxer exercising ring generalship to move his or her opponent into a position in which it is easiest to land the most effective punches.

A boxer exhibiting ring generalship also dictates the pace at which the fight takes place. The fighter who does the best job controlling the ring normally wins the fight.
